GLOBAL SOLAR ATLAS
2
Launched in January 2017
Based on high quality modeled solar data from Solargis
Around 50,000 visitors since launch
Poster maps and GIS layers for all developing countries

MAPPING COMPLETED!

BUT UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN
4
NEED TO INVEST IN HIGH QUALITY MEASUREMENT DATA
5
LOWER UNCERTAINTIES LEAD TO LOWER COSTS
7
x 1GW = USD $71m
potential economic benefit
x 10 = USD $1m
CONSOLIDATION IS NOW NEEDED
8
Use, disseminate and improve the Global Solar
Atlas
Invest in public measurement campaigns
Publish data to help improve the models
No need to carry out solar mapping
Stop using old resource data and maps
Don’t cut corners when investing in
measurements
FUTURE PLANS
9
Enhancements of the Global Solar Atlas
Relaunch improved Global Wind Atlas by end of
2017
Publish guidance on measurement campaigns
